Effective Low-Dose Lung Cancer Screening with CT – A New CT Solution

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide. Early detection of lung cancer with low dose CT enables earlier treatment options and a better prognosis. However, the biggest concern in lung screening with CT is dose, and secondly, how healthcare organizations can integrate the additional throughput of large numbers of screening candidates.
Canon Medical Systems has developed solutions for these issues in lung cancer screening, including:

SilverBeam Filter : A ‘Game-Changer’ in Ultra-Low-Dose Lung Imaging
Canon Medical’s Silverbeam filter for CT reduces low energy photons and optimizes beam energy to make Lung Cancer Screening with CT a reality. Designed to work in combination with our AiCE Deep Learning Reconstruction, it delivers the sharpness and clarity required for a confident diagnosis at very low dose levels. With interest in many countries in finding some way to establish national screening programs that detect lung cancer early, the silverbeam filter is being welcomed by specialists all over the world.
